Vegetarian entrées are not my forte but I had to get busy with something special for my beautiful daughter in law. She really is a great gourmet vegetarian cook...and that has always been my short suit! It was such a pleasure to have her, my son and grandson visit from Holland, Michigan for the Christmas Holidays.
My first source will always be Fine Cooking. They never let me down and this years Holiday Edition (Dec11/Jan12 No.114) was no exception.
